Well, its out on experimental (for the second time on PC) so it is playable for you guys right now (although the proces wont carry over to live servers). If they had put it through the verification proces after the PC-testing from the second to the fifth of this month we would all have had it by now - dont blame the Xbox, blame BI for their usual lazy routines and lack of proper information that makes us all expect different things. Im guessing we will see 1.06 around the same time as the helicopters. 😛

It would have been so nice if you guys had made a clear statement here on the forum about the date this would drop. Most of the Xbox-community was expecting both this and Livonia to drop today as Xbox Insider had claimed it would a month ago and there have been utter confusion about what is happening ever since. Bah.

Can you please order me a pizza too now you are at it?

I would just love any kind of info from BI about whether we see it today or not, and if not then when. 1.06 and Livonia was tested on the experimental servers that stopped 1,5 week ago, so it should be about time and everyone is eager as fuck to know what is going on and if its dropping today or not. 🙂

That is just not correct. If people dont go down then you are missing your shots or hitting limbs only. Example: My mate got 1-shotted (killed) by a single shot to his goddamn plate carrier yesterday! Just learn to hit your targets and it wont be a problem. 😉

Precisely, they love the added option (and apparently has no problem with using a controller against k+m) and everybody who dont can just do what they please instead. Bonus for all, except the usual whiners who feel they are getting cheated no matter what happens - which this forum has an extreme abundance of.

Im a Xbox player, this is the xbox forum - doh. And the Xbox IS on essence a PC - and a PC is not in essence a typewriter, half your post is nonsense, again.

I call nonsense on that. Any added options are good in my mind, and its in essence a pc anyway it should have been added from the start many years ago - but instead they opted for earning money on only allowing controllers and then making and selling them themselves. And how hard is it to find a mouse and a keyboard if you believe that that will give you an edge, everyone has a couple around the place - problem solved. 🙂

It was taken out for now as there was no point to it - there was no real sickness even though the sickness-icon was being shown.

Awesome! PS - I cant find this magical "shift"-button on my controller, any info on how to locate it? 😛

Im curious about when it drops though. Earlier I remember hearing something about November the 13th which is just around the corner. The beta runs from the 31st of October to the 4th of November, so crossed fingers we get it the 6th - but I got my doubts as I cant find any real official info on it.

I dont know if its the case recently, but from about 3 weeks ago I started finding gear on the public servers that I have found since the first week after the last wipe. I found a couple of AKM's, 4 baby-AK's (AK74U), a couple of USG's (earlier that was the best/highest tier gun I was able to find, and that was if I was _really_ lucky) plus NV-goggles, and that was just in a few days (and then I have not messed much about in mil-bases since as I got what I need and came for). I don't know if its because of stashes de-spawning because a lot of people are waiting for the next update and have not checked in on their bases/stashes, or if they maybe added "joker"-slots for the weapons - meaning that maybe they made it so a small amount of the maxed-out items (lower then what would spawn normally if not maxed out) still spawns around the map, that is my hope, but its all just guesswork so far.

.

As far as I remember then stashes (buried stuff, tents, barrels and such) despawns after 3 weeks if not interacted with. So if no one is in contact with it for that long it disappears. And if you don't come in contact with it in that long then you probably dont need it anyway. 🙂

I did all those things - even reconnected my headset (which works fine) while I was held up by the second guy. I was in no groups at all and I was holding D-pad down (and the sign that shows that you are transmitting your voice was showing clearly, I just re-watched the recording of it). Crossed fingers this does not happen again, I still consider myself lucky that the second guy did not shoot me when I could not reply - instead he removed (and stole lol) all my shotgun-shells and took the mag out of my pistol (but was kind enough to leave them on the ground by the empty mag so I could put them back in and not be defenseless). Im guessing it was just my Xbox or Xbox Live acting up and hope it does not happen again. 🙂

It was in regard to a previously posted statement in this thread, I just did not see a reason to quote it as I don't want to get personal. 🙂

I ran by an active pile of lumber on a public server 2 days ago, they are still there. 🙂

OMG, this must be the most fucked up topic I've seen in here so far... 🤣 Everyone is acting demented and trying to show off for no reason to prove something that was lost in translation a long time ago. /me makes popcorn.

He most likely got an alt inside the tents. He logs on with that and takes one of the tents down which gives access to the other tent for storage, and as soon as he put his stuff in there he takes his main-character out of it, logs the alt in inside it and sets the second tent up again. PS - im not sure whether tents can be destroyed with frag-grenades or not... It might take a few grenades, but it sure works on build walls and towers. I would definitively try blowing all that shit up (I hope it works) and destroying it if he is doing it like that, that is abusing the game-mechanics to a sad extent.

I've fired it with zombies on the other side of a wall 10-15 meters away that did not react at all.

I can see all my usual servers.

All I can say is that its very nice not having to worry about people ghosting in behind you anymore. I've had that happen on several occasions and it SUCKS. Once I had a sniper-battle between the cranes at Lumber mill - I tag the guy once and im not sure if he is dead, uncon or just retreated into the inner part of the crane to heal. About 3 minutes later he spawns in behind me in my crane and full-auto me in the back - he had used that time to jump to another server, run to my crane and position himself and then jump back to the server I was on. Everything to combat that.

Personally I only had a half-lucky spawn-point when changing servers once (and I done it about 10 times). I ended up about 500 meters from Balota mil-base at that time, but otherwise I tend to spawn waaay out in the woods with _no_ landmarks within sight or way up in Dobroe and places like that - definitively not places I would hope for.

Nice point. Personally I love night-time, and some of the experiences I remember best have been during night where your overview of the situation is severely handicapped compared to normal. I remember a weird conversation with an italian dude inside Pavlovo military base - I was trying to find the shed he was hiding in so I could throw a grenade in there, but it was just utter chaos and we both ended up laughing about the whole situation and leave each other be. Another time me and two mates we traveling on the coast and we saw a group of players with flares or flashlights turned off further down on the train-tracks we were following. Me and one of my comrades went prone on each side of the tracks and our third mate was supposed to flank around them and follow them and only open fire on them after me and my mate sprung the trap when they got close enough to us (and then they would be pushed back into him that was waiting if they tried to take a retreat or at least get caught between our 2 groups). But the idiot who went behind them to flank for some really stupid reason decided to open fire on them when they were still 100-150 meters from where we were waiting for them to get into the kill-zone. It ended up in a totally chaotic fight instead of a perfect trap (I still don't know why that idiot opened fire when our plan was clear as day, he was supposed to just follow and then mow them down if they tried to retreat) and ALL of us dies as it ended with just me and one of the others (we were 3, they were 4) traded and both went down. Loved it. 🙂

Yes, they work just fine with eye-wear - I always wear my aviators and have had no need to take them off. But you will not be able to use any kind of long-range scopes when using the NVG - for that you need the NV-scope for the different AKs and SVD, that's might be where you got the impression about the eye-wear.
